Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week
DOWNLOAD Jens Lekman - The Opposite of Hallelujah (MP3)
Jens Lekman's Night Falls Over Kortedala hit #1 on the Swedish pop album charts, and finally gets a US release tomorrow. AOL is streaming it for free right now.
Indie music fans have plenty of worthy choices among the week's releases. I can strongly recommend the Fiery Furnaces new disc Widow City, Enon's Grass Geysers...Carbon Clouds, Doveman's With My Left Hand I Raise the Dead, Beirut's The Flying Club Cup, Band of Horses' Cease to Begin, and Scout Niblett's This Fool Can Die Now.
A must-have reissue for Viva Voce fans this week is the double CD release of Lovers, Lead the Way/The Heat Can Melt Your Brain, completely remastered with bonus tracks. Other notable reissues include three discs by Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, two by the Sun City Girls, and Enon's Believo!
For your winter holiday mix CD needs, the Smithereens follow their full album cover of the Beatle's Meet the Beatles with Christmas With the Smithereens.
Have I left anything noteworthy off the list? What new music releases can you recommend this week? What should I avoid? What are you picking up?

"interesting CD releases". Radiohead is not releasing a CD this week.
think before you speak.

Anybody heard the new Moving Units? Is it worth a listen? I loved a few of the songs on the first album, but found the rest of the tracks really underwhelming. Maybe this one is better.

radiohead is not release a "CD" this week? yeah, thats true, but they are releasing downloadable songs that eventually you can get on "CD" in a few months. its called IN RAINBOWS if you are in the know. but it sounds like you are an idiot, so you are welcome.

i'm picking up that Cannonball Jane knees up! - very rad songs and one is a remix by Ad Rock of the beasties. and speaking of largehearted boy - also picking up Bobby Pollard's solos - my bad, already on the list. Fun fact - they both are/were teachers!

The Bangers & Cash sounds like a throwaway to me... very forgettable.
The new Fiery Furnaces is excellent.
